Dear Heavenly Father,

I want to first and foremost thank You.

Thank You for this wonderful person who is reading these words on another screen. Thank You for their unique life that they might get the chance to live. Father, I want to ask You to allow the person reading these words to feel Your presence so incredibly intense at this moment.

Father, I pray that this person knows that You are here with them. You see their struggles, You see their pain.

But Lord, I pray that they might know that not only do You see their struggles and pain, but you also FEEL them. You are their Father who wants them to know Your everlasting and Divine Love.

Let this person, Father, let them feel the comfort of Your embrace.

If the person on a side of a screen who is reading this has an earthly father or parent who abandoned them, I pray that they would know that You will never and have never abandoned them. I pray that they know Your love encompasses all forms of earthly love that anyone might know. I pray that they might rest in that Truth right now. If this person has a father and a mother and knows the love that they give, I pray that they would know Your love is greater than they could ever imagine.

Father, I pray for healing in this moment.

I pray that the person on the other side of this screen is healed from any sickness that has plagued them. If they have received a positive test result for COVID, I pray that they are healed in Jesus' name. I pray for the person reading this who has a loved one struggling with their health. They might not be able to see each other because of potential health risks.

Father, I pray for peace in this moment.

I pray for the person who cannot go home and see their family during the holidays. I pray that You would give them peace. I pray healing over their hearts and their family.

I pray that you would help them know that they are not alone.

I pray for healing over a cousin who has cancer. I pray for the grandmother who is battling COVID in an ICU right now. I pray for the father who is battling alcoholism and struggling with addiction. I pray that those chains be broken in Jesus' name right now.

I pray that all of the strongholds that Satan has on this person's life might be broken in the name of Jesus Christ.

I pray for the person reading this who does not know you, Father.

I pray they feel the ever-encompassing and overwhelming Love that you have for them. I pray that you open up their ears and hearts to hear the yearning for Your child to come home.

I pray that they know that you can, will, and do love them so much more than what they are used to.

I pray that they are made whole in Your name. I pray that they know they are chosen by You, knit together by Your Almighty hands in their mother's womb, and that their life is not a mistake.

I pray that this person knows that they are here for a purpose.

I pray that they know their life has meaning. I pray that You would give them the courage and confidence to be the person that You have created them to be.

Father, last of all, I pray that you would let this person know that they are so, so loved.

I pray that each person that they encounter was forever changed by just a moment of being in their life. Thank You for your overwhelming goodness.

Amen

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
